Abstract We study whether and to what extent the electoral dynamics in Italy over 1994–2008 period can be explained by development of economic factors associated with globalization. To measure level exposure globalization for local labor markets, our main unit analysis, we use intensity import competition from China presence immigrants. Looking at parties’ political positions employing an estimation strategy that accounts endogeneity time‐invariant unobserved effects across find both...

Abstract Criticism of economic globalization and technological progress has gained support in Italy the last two decades. However, due to differentiated exposure local labor markets this process, electoral outcomes have varied considerably across country. By observing impact three global phenomena (flows migrants, foreign competition international trade, diffusion robots) alongside with patterns potentially associated discontent, study analyzes forces driving evolution general elections...

Abstract In the context of a global food system, dynamics associated to international trade have become key determinants security. this paper, we resort diffusion model simulate how shocks domestic production propagate through network and study relationship between openness vulnerability. The results our simulations suggest that low-income insecure countries tend be more exposed external and, at same time, they are usually not in position take full advantage when it comes shield themselves...

Abstract This study examines the association between firm-level investments in automation technologies and employment outcomes, drawing on a panel dataset of approximately 10,450 Italian firms. We focus proliferation non-standard labour contracts introduced by market reforms 2000s, which facilitated external flexibility. Our findings reveal positive relationship adoption these flexible arrangements. Guided conceptual framework, we interpret this result as evidence complementarity – viewed...

This work investigates the impact that changes in exposure to robots had on Italian local employment dynamics over period 2011-2018. A novel empirical strategy focusing a match between occupations' activities and robots' applications at high level of disaggregation makes it possible assess robotization shares workers employed as robot operators occupations deemed exposed robots. In framework consistently centered workers' activities, rather than their industries, analysis reveals for first...

In the first half of 2020, several countries have responded to challenges posed by Covid-19 pandemic restricting their export medical supplies. Such measures are meant increase domestic availability critical goods, and commonly used in times crisis. Yet, not much is known about impact, especially on imposing them. Here we show that bans are, large, counterproductive. Using a model shock diffusion through network international trade, simulate impact restrictions under different scenarios. We...

This work discusses and empirically investigates the relationship between labor regulation robotization. In particular, empirical analysis focuses on discipline of workers' dismissal adoption industrial robots in nineteen Western countries over 2006–2016 period. We find that high levels statutory employment protection have been negatively associated with robot adoption, suggesting labor-friendly national legislations, by increasing adjustment costs (such as firing costs), thus making...

Abstract This article investigates the heterogeneous effects of international migration on expenditure Bangladeshi migrant households. Adopting a counterfactual framework, we estimate impact per capita left‐behind households according to their position in distribution and length period. The households’ social mobility inequality are also assessed. analysis indicates that has positive represents an important vehicle mobility, but may be source inequality. We find only tiny share migrants...

A simple invertebrate animal like the marine mollusc Aplysia exhibits an impressive variety of learning behaviour. The underlying biophysical and biochemical cellular mechanism has been for most part well described by group Kandel. authors propose a mathematical model which applies to circuit synapse between three neuronal cells with non-hebbian rules temporal associations conditioned unconditioned stimuli. This mimics synaptic plasticity sensorimotor synapses responsible habituation,...
